In bright sunlight photosynthetic activity is limited by the enzymatic machinery of carbon
dioxide assimilation. This supererogation of energy can be easily visualized by the …

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (nano Fe2O3) and MgO
nanoparticles (nano MgO) were evaluated for the effects on algae growth and lipid …

This review summarizes the current knowledge about light acclimation processes in
diatoms. Against the background of the phenomenological description of the process in the …

The terminology used to describe the various components of variable chlorophyll
fluorescence has evolved as our understanding of variable chlorophyll fluorescence has …

Intertidal microphytobenthic (MPB) biofilms are key sites for coastal primary production,
predominantly by pennate diatoms exhibiting photo‐regulation via non‐photochemical …

Microalgal biotechnology has gained considerable importance in recent decades.
Applications range from simple biomass production for food and animal feed to valuable …

The operation of photosynthetic energy-dissipating processes is commonly characterized by
measuring the light response of the nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) of chlorophyll …

Intertidal soft sediment microphytobenthic biofilms are often dominated by diatoms, which
are able to regulate their photosynthesis by physiological processes (eg down-regulation …

Phytoplankton communities residing in the open ocean, the largest habitat on Earth, play a
key role in global primary production. Through their influence on nutrient supply to the …

The response of microalgae to photooxidative stress resulting from high light exposure is a
well-studied phenomenon. However, direct analyses of photosystem II (PSII) D1 protein (the …
